Consumer Reports says that Minwax poly varnish (for floors) is the most durable and looks good. You might want to think about adding some type of treads or add some fine sand or ground walnut shells to the varnish. Minwax direction are fine and the skill required is minimal. As you anticipate, preparation is all; so you should remove all old coating. If the ladder is teak, you should wipe it down with Naptha before applying the poly. The Naptha, after it has dried, will have removed the surface teak oil.
